Gig review:- "Little Mix"
Written by Jo Forrest
JADE, Leigh Anne, Jesy and Perrie, collectively known as Little Mix, are a big
deal judging by ticket sales across the UK on their 'Get Weird' tour. The
Liverpool ACC was no different either as the 4 friends brought a bit of glamour
to Merseyside, on the 22 April 2016.
There wasn't a seat empty in the Arena as a blast of pyro and smoke heralded the
entrance of the pop princesses who, while still airborne, kicked off this high
energy pop extraveganza with 'Grown' and 'Hair'. What followed was an
18
song set, multiple costume changes and an endless stream of slick, well
choreographed dance routines, all making for a polished ninety minute set.
With fans spread across all generations, the four girls managed to fit enough in
their set to capture the imaginations of fans young and old. There was plenty of
calorie burning dance routines for the mums, racy outfits for the dads and
plenty of interaction between all 4 members of the band and the young, placard
waving portion of this sold out venue. Elsewhere there were video montages, pyro
a plenty and random giant rabbits to contend with and a set spanning the
X-Factor winning groups career.
From 'A.D.I.D.A.S' to 'Hey How You Doin?' to main set closer 'Weird People',
this is a display of modern pop at its glorious mainstream best. Returning to
the stage for their encore and with Jade clearly struggling from an unspecified
knee injury, 'The End' and 'Black Magic' brought this pop spectacular to a flame
filled, confetti drenched finale before the four girls disappeared into the
night with another city and another set of fans ready and waiting for the girl
group and their own brand of girl power.
